We have been the enemies of the Soviets since 1919 when the United States invaded what became the Soviet Union to aid the White Russians. The Russians have always been suspicious of their neighbors and the year long incursion didn't help matters.
Now that Communism is defeated, they're only enemies in the minds of people that need an enemy.
I'm not sure if this article can be read by non subscribers to "The Weekly Standard," but if so, this article will tell you why we spent untold treasure and manpower fighting Communism. They made - and are still making - Hitler look like a community organizer.
Has anyone noticed that they have turned us into a socialist country? And without firing a shot. Kruschef said they would do this in the 1960's. My senior english term paper, How the Comunists are winning the Cold War, coverd it in ddtail and has sadly ended up being a frightening prophicy.

Trump has the chance of turning that around 180 degrees. THAT's why the left is going bonkers over Trump's victory. If T is strong and the Reps are tough, together they can undo all of the Socialist "progress" of the last 100 years.
